====================
wireless-drivers-next patches for v5.17
First set of patches for v5.17. The biggest change is the iwlmei
driver for Intel's AMT devices. Also now WCN6855 support in ath11k
should be usable.
Major changes:
ath10k
* fetch (pre-)calibration data via nvmem subsystem
ath11k
* enable 802.11 power save mode in station mode for qca6390 and wcn6855
* trace log support
* proper board file detection for WCN6855 based on PCI ids
* BSS color change support
rtw88
* add debugfs file to force lowest basic rate
* add quirk to disable PCI ASPM on HP 250 G7 Notebook PC
mwifiex
* add quirk to disable deep sleep with certain hardware revision in
Surface Book 2 devices
iwlwifi
* add iwlmei driver for co-operating with Intel's Active Management
Technology (AMT) devices
* tag 'wireless-drivers-next-2021-12-07' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvalo/wireless-drivers-next: (87 commits)
iwlwifi: mei: fix linking when tracing is not enabled
rtlwifi: rtl8192de: Style clean-ups
mwl8k: Use named struct for memcpy() region
intersil: Use struct_group() for memcpy() region
libertas_tf: Use struct_group() for memcpy() region
libertas: Use struct_group() for memcpy() region
wlcore: no need to initialise statics to false
rsi: Fix out-of-bounds read in rsi_read_pkt()
rsi: Fix use-after-free in rsi_rx_done_handler()
brcmfmac: Configure keep-alive packet on suspend
wilc1000: remove '-Wunused-but-set-variable' warning in chip_wakeup()
iwlwifi: mvm: read the rfkill state and feed it to iwlmei
iwlwifi: mvm: add vendor commands needed for iwlmei
iwlwifi: integrate with iwlmei
iwlwifi: mei: add debugfs hooks
iwlwifi: mei: add the driver to allow cooperation with CSME
mei: bus: add client dma interface
mwifiex: Ignore BTCOEX events from the 88W8897 firmware
mwifiex: Ensure the version string from the firmware is 0-terminated
mwifiex: Add quirk to disable deep sleep with certain hardware revision

The RF register array is used to help firmware to restore RF settings.
The original code can potentially access out of range, if the size is
between (RTW89_H2C_RF_PAGE_SIZE * RTW89_H2C_RF_PAGE_NUM + 1) to
((RTW89_H2C_RF_PAGE_SIZE + 1) * RTW89_H2C_RF_PAGE_NUM). Fortunately,
current used size doesn't fall into the wrong case, and the size will not
change if we don't update RF parameter.

This driver named rtw89, which is the next generation of rtw88, supports
Realtek 8852AE 802.11ax 2x2 chip whose new features are OFDMA, DBCC,
Spatial reuse, TWT and BSS coloring; now some of them aren't implemented
though.
The chip architecture is entirely different from the chips supported by
rtw88 like RTL8822CE 802.11ac chip. First of all, register address ranges
are totally redefined, so it's impossible to reuse register definition. To
communicate with firmware, new H2C/C2H format is proposed. In order to have
better utilization, TX DMA flow is changed to two stages DMA. To provide
rich RX status information, additional RX PPDU packets are added.
Since there are so many differences mentioned above, we decide to propose
a new driver. It has many authors, they are listed in alphabetic order:
